I wanted to start working full-time as soon as possible and gain practical experience in a law firm. I was also anxious about committing to a degree and incurring student debt without knowing if it was the right job for me. I started at Express in September 2015 and my first position was in the post room. I had one day a week attending online university lectures working towards my degree, and the other four I spent working for Express gaining invaluable practical experience. My advice to aspiring solicitors would be to properly explore all potential routes into the profession before making your decision.
